That's not ironic, it's intentional.

In American stores the big bulk carrots come in a huge bag and those are the cheapest.

Biggest bag of carrots for like 5 bucks. Baby carrots have increased in price a lot though. They're like twice as expensive as they used to be.

If they're into biodiesel it could be turning hemp into fuel.

There is more supply than needed, we normally make so much we export huge quantities. How does restricted food exports increase prices domestically?

The comments about capitalism and price gouging and stuff are all fine and correct. But that would logically apply whether the exports were restricted or not. But they have to do something with all the food they were going to export or not. Sometimes they'll just burn it or dump milk but they can probably sell, just at a lower price or pay more to ship it farther away. Now long term yes if these farmers go out of business then prices could increase if the supply shrinks but that doesn't really apply to this year.

The problem with the reasoning I see here is that you lot are taking things you heard and applying them to this situation, but you just say capitalism and that's the end of your argument. Supply and demand still affect prices, especially on a large scale and with commodity goods.

It depends on if it is something like a powder that comes raw in a 200 lb jar and you package it yourself into small containers.

Just like reddit to downvote someone who actually knows what the fuck they're talking about because it doesn't sound right to you.

That is not correct. There are many CDL drivers who only speak Spanish. If you're talking about the test, that's a joke.

Human relationships can be deeper but they're harder to conceptualize for a random viewer. Animal relationships are simpler and purer and it's easier to fully grok for a viewer.

This was always wrong as a meme though. They weren't talking about price of bananas at the store. It was a frozen chocolate banana dessert stand in LA on the beach. 10 dollars isn't an unreasonable price for basically a food truck item, her guess was higher than the actual price listed but it's not unreasonable like the quote suggests.
